Theta Aurigae

[lunator]

I have been messing around with the new ZWO ASI178.

I chose it for the small pixel size as I have taken images of double before but I am hoping I can push the limits further.

I had a quick session last night after a bit of lunar imaging.

I have never tried for Theta Auriga but after testing everything on Castor I thought it was worth a try.

The set up give me 0.22" per pixel which for deep sky imaging is crazy but by reducin the ROI to 640x480 I could get 60 pps and this allow me to stack in AS3 and crop in GIMP.

I am fairly satisfied as a first pass.

Hopefully I can get some trickier doubles captured.

Cheers

Nicely done! A difficult pair to image because of the mag difference.

Hi Chris it is a tricky one.

I am working out what the scope camera combination can deliver.

I managed to get STF333 last night.

I will post a pic.

Cheers
